I’m a Swedish artist in Denmark, working with sound, oral storytelling and performance; a practice centered around the voice as a medium in its own right. I write scripts and semi-fictional essays, mixing science, history, mythology and personal anecdotes. A recurring topic is animal communication, otherness and identity. I want to stretch what language can be and how it manifests inside and between us, in sound, movement, and imitation. I’m the founder of the Animal Sound Society, a collaborative project spanning over 10 years. An interview about it is available in LYDKUNST PODCAST.
